<title>alpha: make stack 16-byte aligned (most cases)</title>

<id>0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9</id>
<content type='text'>
The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack
since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]:
  Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in
 GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double
 improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment
 was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has
 various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which
 is not a whole multiple of 16.

Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same:
 D.3.1 Stack Alignment
  This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a
  new procedure is invoked.

However:
- the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to
  the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very
  first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack;
- syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned
  stack depending on numerous factors.

Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with
a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to
its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever
things allocating it on the stack.

This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers
so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words.
This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel
code, except two handlers which need special threatment.

Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed,
but let's put this off until later.

&gt; There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran
&gt; twice as fast with 32-bit pointers.
&gt;
&gt; I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work
&gt; to allow the toolchain to take advantage.
&gt;
&gt; Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a
&gt; 32-bit address space, specifically because of this.
&gt;
&gt; I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would
&gt; notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users.

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation.  In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.

Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.

As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set.  Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

Add new socket option, SO_RCVPRIORITY, to include SO_PRIORITY in the
ancillary data returned by recvmsg().
This is analogous to the existing support for SO_RCVMARK,
as implemented in commit 6fd1d51cfa253 ("net: SO_RCVMARK socket option
for SO_MARK with recvmsg()").

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
   Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection
   algorithm. This leads to improved memory savings.

 - Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
   series which clean up the implementation:
	- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
	- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
	- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
	- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
	- "refine storing null"

 - The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
   David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.

 - The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
   implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping
   code.

 - The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
   optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of
   shadow entries.

 - The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
   migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.

 - The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
   Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in
   the hugetlb code.

 - The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
   takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page
   into small pages. Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP. More
   consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.

 - The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
   Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.

 - The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
   optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to
   do.

 - The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
   Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio
   size rather than as individual pages. A 20% speedup was observed.

 - The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
   damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON
   splitting.

 - The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel
   Butt removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.

 - The series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes cleanup up some of the mmap() error handling and
   addresses some potential performance issues.

 - The series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations"
   from Mike Rapoport teaches x86 to use large pages for
   read-only-execute module text.

 - The series "page allocation tag compression" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   is followon maintenance work for the new page allocation profiling
   feature.

 - The series "page-&gt;index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove
   most references to page-&gt;index in mm/. A slow march towards shrinking

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
  behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.

  Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
  default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
  a more reliable replacement for the latter.

  Core:

   - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
     scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
     significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
       - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
       - introduce basic per netns locking helpers
       - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
       - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
         rtnl_register_many()
       - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
         possible out of RTNL lock
       - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
       - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
       - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
     the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
     CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.

   - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
     polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.

   - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
     ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
     handling consistent and reliable.

   - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
     better introspection in case of packets drop.

   - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.

   - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.

   - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
     and timestamps

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
     size.

   - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
     API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
     implementation.

  Netfilter:

   - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption

   - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.

   - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
     option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

   - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
     improvements.

  BPF:

   - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
     this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.

   - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
     combination with BPF cpumap.

   - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
     add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.

   - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb-&gt;{mark,priority}
     scrubbing to its BPF program.

   - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
     programs.

  Protocols:

   - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
     significantly connected sockets lookup.

   - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
     close, the socket lock contention.

   - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
     lookups.

   - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
     risks on loosing them.

   - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
     device neigh lists.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
     shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.

   - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
     configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
     Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
     nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.

   - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.

   - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.

   - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
     offload.

   - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
     device-specific entries.

   - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.

   - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

  Tests and tooling:

   - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
     phase

  Drivers:

   - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
     Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
     IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "These are a number of unrelated cleanups, generally simplifying the
  architecture specific header files:

   - A series from Al Viro simplifies asm/vga.h, after it turns out that
     most of it can be generalized.

   - A series from Julian Vetter adds a common version of
     memcpy_{to,from}io() and memset_io() and changes most architectures
     to use that instead of their own implementation

   - A series from Niklas Schnelle concludes his work to make PC style
     inb()/outb() optional

   - Nicolas Pitre contributes improvements for the generic do_div()
     helper

   - Christoph Hellwig adds a generic version of page_to_phys() and
     phys_to_page(), replacing the slightly different architecture
     specific definitions.

   - Uwe Kleine-Koenig has a minor cleanup for ioctl definitions"
